lol - touche
but only because they spent money for the meat, bills, labor etc. and they need their money back - lol
This is exactly right.
They not only need their money back but they have to make a profit or else there's no point in being in business. The point being, the only reason they are willing to take my money in exchange for their cooked BBQ is because those same green backs can be traded for uncooked meat and all the other stuff it takes to make the BBQ, including the labor and whatever else they want to buy with what's left over.
They take it from me because some else with take it from them. That's all money is.
